About this business

From Our Editors

Flatlander's pampers malt-pining palates by balancing a seasonal lineup of more than seven house-made brews with a diverse menu ranging from classic pub fare to gourmet entrees. Beer flights guide diners through five distillations and the on-site brewmaster ensures appetizers highlight each brews best qualities, matching seared asian ahi to the crispness of the Jackson Wit and spicy jumbo wings to the Flatlander IPA's training as a firefighter. Thick cuts of homestyle meatloaf and crispy morsels of fish and chips embody the roles of classic pub fare, subtly supported by gourmet-inspired castmates such as linguine pomodoro and USDA-prime center-cut filet mignon. An arsenal of 13 hearty burgers accessorized with toppings such as pulled pork, guacamole, or fried onions gratify any diet while bookended around a choice of USDA-prime chuck, ground turkey, veggie, or peppermint patties.

Groupon Guide

The Violet Hour – Nestled behind the wall of a mural that is constantly changing, an
innocent bystander would never know what lies within. But once inside, past the thick
velvet curtain, you’re welcomed into a dim, whimsical world where mixology thrives.
While their house rules include no Grey Goose or cosmopolitans, their menu boasts
nothing but artistically crafted cocktails. Be adventurous here – your taste buds will be
aptly rewarded. While there may be a line, it is always worth the wait.The Bedford – While the city is chock full of bars and lounges, only at The Bedford can
you travel back in time and enjoy a cocktail inside a 1920s bank vault. Enclosed in a
magnificent steel door and lined with hundreds of copper safety boxes, one of their
specialty cocktails will serve you just right in this timeless venue.RM Champagne Salon – The West Loop never disappoints, and RM Champagne Salon is
no exception. Tucked inside a curious corridor on Green Street, this French champagne
bar is gorgeously decorated from beautiful chandeliers to electric trinkets. Here,
everything is cause for celebration so pop the bubbly!Three Dots and a Dash – Three Dots and a Dash is anything but your standard bar. All
thoughts of polar vortexes and frostbite are forgotten when you enter this tiki bar. The
drinks are perfectly crafted and strong, and it doesn’t hurt that they’re served in fun,
tropical glasswear. Not feelin’ so hot? The Painkiller No. 3 should do the trick.The Barrelhouse Flat – At Barrelhouse Flat, a good time is always guaranteed. If you’re
looking for a casual speakeasy vibe, this is it. Grab a seat at the bar, pick a cocktail off
their extensive drink list, and take a load off.

Thinking outside of the box to plan a date night will provide endless spots for
Chicago couples. With constant sporting events, rooftop bars and coffee shops
there are plenty of spots around the city of 2 million people to have a date night that will fit each couple.Game Night:
Rather than going to a sporting event, spend the night at Headquarters Bearcade in River North or Lakeview location for a date night filled with competition. With TV’s playing games and full audio for Bulls and Blackhawk’s games this spot will pull out the competitive spirit for any couple. With more than 65 vintage arcade and pinball tiles along with 16 beers on tap Headquarts is a playful spot.Rooftop Bar:
With a full drink menu and appetizers available at Packing House in the trendy
meatpacking district of West Loop, there are plenty of views to swoon over. It is a
mile away from downtown and the skyline view wont disappoint.Tacos:
With 7 different types of taco’s available, Antique Taco in Wicker Park is a great
spot of couples to share a few different tacos together. The husband and wife team
running the restaurant bring their inspiration to give normal tacos a run for their money.Movie Night:
Catching a movie might be the most traditional date night idea, but going to the
Regal Webster Place 11 Movie Theater works out perfect because it is right across
the street from Webster’s Wine Bar. Plan on going to the early movie to provide time
to walk across the street to Webster’s Wine Bar and get a glass of wine from one of
their 500 labels in the wine cellar after the movie.Dinner:
Nestled in Streeterville right before walking to Navy Pier, Quay is a romantic spot
to start any date night. The main dining room at Quay is notably one of the best
in Chicago. Make dinner reservations before 7:00pm so you can finish your meal
in time to walk to Navy Pier and catch the fireworks on Wednesday and Saturday
nights.Tour:
Take a 2-hour bus tour around a few different Chicago neighborhoods to experience
Chicago as it was in the 1920’s and 19030’s. With the newly renovated bus you will
tour Chinatown, Greek Town, Pilsen, Little Italy and Lincoln Park. The tour guides
tell stories about Capone, and get to know Chicago’s jazz-age during the Prohibition
Era.

Chicago is making headlines (and this time, for all the right reasons). If there’s one thing
Chicagoans can agree on, it’s the love of the beer! (See what I did there?) With over
2,500 breweries city-wide, the drinks are flowin’ and us city-folks are getting through the
cold stuff one sip at a time. Most breweries offer free brewery-tours, sips and lessons —
which make for a great company party, or casual night out with friends (just ask my
hangover). I’m sharing my top 5 with ya’ll, but feel free to chime in with your favorites,
too!Lagunitas: (2607 West 17th St.) Lagunitas is the popular ‘new kid’ in town (opening last
year) and making waves throughout Chicago. Located in an old steel distribution plant in
Douglas Park, Lagunitas is the biggest brewery in Chicago. The tasting tour lasted over
an hour, but I can’t be too sure since we got the samples well before the actual tour! The
staff let us play in ‘adult daycare’ which included a piano, life-size jenga, arcade games,
oh — and beer samples, plenty of beer samples! Don’t forget to stop by the taproom
where you can enjoy pretzels, sandwiches and the most rad staff ever. The best part?
The tour/samples are free! Make sure to check the website, and arrive early! (First
come, first serve)Revolution Brewery: (3340 N. Kedzie Ave) Another Chicago favorite — Revolution
facilitates a 60-barrel brewhouse. Learn how brewers mash, boil, and brew (while
enjoying a cold one, or five) Fun fact: Revolution is the second biggest brewing
production facility in Illinois; filling kegs, cans, and bottles for distribution across home
sweet home, Chi. Who knows, you may look at those bottles a tad differently after this
one! Oh, and a sample of beer is provided for free! (Cuz ain’t nobody got time to pay…)Haymarket: (737 W Randolph) The former Rock Bottom brewmaster is cookin’ up some
fun for us Chicagoans. A great place to catch up with friends, grab dinner and stay
awhile — a long while. Enjoy a brewery tour with some free sips, of course — and
prepare to learn a new thing or two about Chicago’s history, and the stuff you’re sippin’
on! Make sure to check-out the menu, there’s a lot to study!Half Acre Brewery: (4257 N. Lincoln) We just love a feel good story, and this brewery-
tour shares Half Acre’s humble beginnings, to sweet, sweet success. Tip: Get there
early! It’s a hoppin’ place, and took a couple tries to get in the tour. There’s a lot to see,
too — from brewing equipment, and fermenters, you’ll definitely earn some bragging
rights to share at the office. They take great care of you here, with several pours of your
choice. Check-out the beer menu before you go!Goose Island Clybourn: (1800 N Clybourne) Think of Goose Island as the poster child
of Chicago (Too far?) — See where it all began in 1988 with a behind-the-scenes
historic look into brewing, 6 fresh samples of beer selections and your very own Goose
Island pint glass to cherish the memories! Ask a lot of questions, these guys are
knowledgeable, and up for a discussion session post tour. Reservations are
required (which is awesome, so you’re not spending half the night in line) — Cheers,
Chicago!Cheers, Chicago! Use hashtag #ChicagoBrew and show Groupon some of those sips!
